About this episode
In this episode of Before Someday, Julia talks with Sarah about her own journey from volunteering in rural Tanzania to founding EnRoute Consulting, and what she has learned from helping hundreds of young people navigate that uncertain space between What am I supposed to do? and What do I actually want?
They talk about why you don’t need to have a passion figured out, the difference between loneliness and solitude, the pressure young people feel to choose the “right” future, and why an unconventional year can sometimes teach you more than following the obvious next step.
And yes, there are gap years involving everything from macaws in Costa Rica to a student whose fascination with elevators took him all the way to China.
